When will you introduce and promote legislation to fix our thoroughly broken electoral system beginning with the elimination of the electoral college process? When will you advocate for real democracy in America?
Asked by: Ruthe Swinson from Washington, DC. Received 8 Votes.
Listen to: U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
I think it is democracy. We are a democratic republic. The way the system is set up provides a slight advantage a slight boost to smaller states. I don’t think they would ever vote to give them up. The smaller states would resist, correctly, because that is one of the commitments they were given when they entered the Union.

I think the electoral college has a good reason that its in place. Its to make sure every state has the ability to decide who are next representatives are, that it’s not just dominated by the most populated states.

I notice that my question lists no one to whom the question should be addressed. I asked that my question be addressed to the following:
Each of the current leading candidates for President as well as the leaders of the US House of Representatives and of the US Senate. Could you please add this to my question.
Thank you. RJSwinson, Washington, DC
